Our Director:

Adult Virtual High School

Vernon Regional Adult Based Education is pleased to offer online courses to our students. The online credit diploma courses are designed for students to take in conjunction with their on site courses in order to earn their high school diploma.

In addition, a GED online course is offered to help students prepare to take their GED. This open enrollment course may be taken in conjunction with an onsite course or on its own.

Collaborative Project

Since 2003, VRABE has been part of a collaborative project. As adult educators, Vernon Regional Adult Based Education instructors recognized the need to explore this form of teaching and learning as an option for our students. In the fall of 2003, our Region, along with Hartford, New London, and Middletown Adult Education facilities entered into a collaboration with the Connecticut Distance Learning Consortium to design and pilot an Orientation to Web-based Learning course as well as 4 content area courses. In 2004 only 4 content level courses, Algebra, American Government, Physics, and Contemporary Literature, were available to the participating regions. There are a total of fifteen courses available to credit diploma students. Each course is divided into 2 sessions worth 1/2 credit each session. Each subject session is repeated at least once during the school year. There are four terms throughout the school year as well as a summer term. For a detailed description of each course and the schedule, please see the Courses link on the Adult Virtual High School website.
